catholic alliance documentary against 4 river project

who made it: the catholic alliance to stop the 4 major rivers project

title: " the truth behind the 4 major four rivers project"it is in korean but even if you dont understand ( i'll admit i dont understand all of it, not nearly!) it is still entirely worth watching to see how hard some of the paldang farmers and their supporters are working to save their land. ( one of the protests you see is from febrary 2010 in paldang).

________________________________________________________________

the following is not entirely necessary to read before watching the film since (i think) the video speaks for itself through the images. however,as it might be nice to see what the catholic alliance members have to say about their production, i have translated the following for you.

you will see this below the video when you visit the link posted above:

안녕하세요. 푸른영상입니다. 저희가 천주교 신부님들의 의뢰로 4대강 사업 저지 홍보영상을 제작했습니다. 빠른 시간에 끝내야 하는 작업이어서 아쉬움이 많습니다. 하지만 많은 사람들에게 빨리 알려야 한다고 생각했습니다. 사무실에 다른 감독님들이 낙동강과 팔당에 들어가 찍고 계시니 앞으로도 계속해서 작품들이 나올 것 같습니다. 많은 관심과 지지 보내주시면 감사하겠습니다. 보시고 많이들 퍼 날라주세요. 생명을 파괴하는 이 무식한 4대강 사업, 우리 꼭 막아냅시다!!

At the request of Catholic priests, we have produced this documentary opposing the 4 Major Rivers Project. We regret having to finish it in a short time, but we urge you to quickly inform many other people using this video. Since our producers are returning to Nakdong River and Paldang to film, it seems there will be more information coming out in the future as well. We offer our appreciation for your interest and support. Please watch the video and share it with others. Let's stop this foolish project that is destroying life!


who is the catholic alliance to stop the 4 rivers project?

"The Catholic Alliance to Stop the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project is an alliance of groups such as the Justice and Peace Committee and Committee for Environment, both under the Catholic Bishops Conference of Korea (CBCK). In March, the alliance issued a position statement by CBCK calling for an end to the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project. The 15 dioceses plan to convene life and peace masses in an alternating fashion nationwide. "*

read this to find out about what the catholic and other religious communities are doing to protest the 4 river construction. one of the things the alliance has done is hold masses at 730 everyday at myeong-dong cathedral. they also hold prayer vigils throughout the night after mass.as far as i know, this is still going on.
